Studs TerkelI presumably lost $150,000 in the depression of 1937โon my one stock investmentโbecause I did everything Lehman Brothers told me. I said, well, this is a foolโs procedure . . . buying stock in other peopleโs businesses.
Studs TerkelI'm not up on the Internet, but I hear that is a democratic possibility. People can connect with each other. I think people are ready for something, but there is no leadership to offer it to them. People are ready to say, 'Yes, we are part of a world.
